OCT2BIN Formula Syntax

=OCT2BIN("37")

Example Use Case

Converting an octal number to binary for number base conversion

Understanding the OCT2BIN Formula

The OCT2BIN function in Excel converts an octal (base-8) number to binary (base-2) format. It's a number base conversion tool for digital systems work—like translating between different number representations in computer science, programming, or digital electronics.

OCT2BIN("37") returns "11111", converting the octal number 37 to its binary equivalent. It takes number and optional places arguments, supporting octal integers from 0 to 7777777777 (10 digits)—useful for digital systems design or computer science applications that work with different number bases.

Why Use OCT2BIN?

OCT2BIN facilitates number system translation—think computer science education or digital circuitry. Its direct conversion ability saves time compared to manual conversion or multi-step processes, making it valuable for applications involving both octal and binary representations.

Example with Sample Data

Octal Number, [Places]	Formula	Result
"37"	=OCT2BIN("37")	11111
"10", 8	=OCT2BIN("10", 8)	00001000
"777"	=OCT2BIN("777")	111111111

OCT2BIN converts between number systems: octal 37 becomes binary 11111, octal 10 becomes 1000 (padded to 8 places as 00001000). It's a digital representation converter.
